Murder draws past life into the present
Jar City is an excellent police procedural thriller, yet also far more than just that. It takes the biggest issues in human life, loss, past secrets, family loyalties, human decency and wasted lives and spins them into a flawless thread with the traditional fare of the detective plot, hidden crimes, corruption, suspense and plot twists.The filming style is refreshing for anyone raised on Hollywood who-dunnit’s, with real locations and down to earth acting; on a par with Mississippi Burning IMO. That it’s in Icelandic as an English speaker made no difference to me, I was gripped by this film. Jar City, the frailty of human life displayed!
The Iceman Cometh
So far as I know this is the only Icelandic movie I’ve ever heard of let alone seen but I saw some positive reviews in the press and decided to give it a try. I was unable to prevent myself comparing it to a recent Russian film Koktobel; both involve journeys, one tangible and one metaphorical and neither film is going to boost the tourist industry in their respective countries. One gets the feeling that if Samuel Beckett were to specify landscapes for his depressing plays the one depicted here would be ideal. One looks in vain, if not desperation, for a sliver of colour to temper the drabness. Neither is anyone having much fun so that a break in Siberia would be a step upwards. The main mystery is well handled and the detective well drawn though there is little to make him stand out from the crowd unless you count his penchant for dining on sheep’s head from which he removes and eats the eyes with relish. Having seen one example of Icelandic film-making I’d certainly consider others.
